Just purchased this laptop and I just cant stand Windows 10. Will this laptop handle installing Windows 7 Pro instead of Windows 10?

Hi:

 

You should be able to run 7 Pro 64 bit on that model, looking at the specs.

 

There are no W7 drivers for it on the support page though.

 

You would have to use the W7 drivers and software from comparable models that have W7 drivers.

 

Perhaps the 15t-ac000 model which has much of the same hardware as yours would have drivers that work.

In any event, if you decide to install W7, make the set of recovery media before attempting to install W7.

 

If you decide to install W7, post back if you need any help finding some drivers.
